Recipe Instructions:

Marinating:
- Break the tamarind apart and place it in a small saucepan with water.
- Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes or until a pasty coating separates from the seeds.
- Press the mixture through a sieve or food mill to extract all the pulp and soupy liquid, then discard the seeds.
- Rinse the shrimp thoroughly, pat them dry, and marinate them for 1 hour with 1 tablespoon of the tamarind liquid, oyster sauce, and hot chili sauce.
-
Cooking:
- Meanwhile, cut the young ginger into toothpick-sized slivers. If using mature ginger, peel and sliver it.
- Peel and sliver the garlic cloves.
- Place the blachan in a non-stick pan and heat it gently for 3 to 4 minutes to develop the flavors.
- Peel and cut the red onions into wedges.
- Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and chili sauce with the blachan, then stir into the remaining tamarind liquid.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. When a drop of water sizzles immediately into steam, pour in 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Swirl up the sides of the wok, and when just at the smoking point, add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Adding more oil as needed, stir-fry the shrimp in batches until they turn orange-red, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the sauces over all the shrimp in the wok and cook at a brisk bubble over high heat until the shrimp are aromatic and the sauces have reduced and thickened to enrobe the shells, about 8 minutes.
- Mix in the sugar and onion wedges, taste to adjust seasoning, sweetening, and spiciness.
Enjoy your Assam Spicy Shrimp hot and fresh, paired with steamed rice or your favorite noodles, for a memorable culinary experience that will transport you to the vibrant streets of Asia! 🍤🔥
